Xbox One Halo: The Master Chief Collection Bundle

For those of you looking to pick up an Xbox One this spring, look no further – beginning in March, fans worldwide (U.S. and select markets) will be able to revisit the entire story of the Master Chief with the Xbox One Halo: The Master Chief Collection Bundle. The exclusive bundle includes a standard Xbox One console, as well as a digital download code for Halo: The Master Chief Collection – the essential Halo fan experience that features the Master Chief’s complete story through four free Halo games: Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary, Halo 2: Anniversary, Halo 3 and Halo 4 – all for ERP $349 in the U.S.

Halo: The Master Chief Collection allows fans to play all 45 campaign missions, plus more than 100 multiplayer and Spartan Ops maps, in 1080p at 60fps. The bundle also comes with access to the new live-action digital series from executive producer Ridley Scott, Halo: Nightfall. This offer gets you four great games in one bundle, and provides tremendous value for fans of Halo and the Master Chief.

matchmaking is complete garbage for anyone outside U.S , still havnt played one game of BTB since release, thats 50% of the maps, The matchmaking is terrible , it boots you back to main menu after ever match making you serch for 30 mins to just play one game of team slayer, what a joke

The game is NOT fixed. They’ve done a lot of work on it yeah, but 3 months after launch I still have constant problems with it every night. I’ve been very patient with it since I love the series. But to act like it’s all good now is just ignorance.

Sorry. But because it works for you when it obviously doesn’t work for everyone doesn’t mean the “game is fixed” like you said. When the game doesn’t work for SOOOOOOOO many people, it doesn’t matter if it works for you, it’s still broken.

I’ve been playing the game since launch (up until about a month ago when I said enough is enough), it’s been completely broken. If the reports that it’s fixed are true, good for them. Microsoft took no time capitalizing with bundles. It’s a joke, I’m sorry. I’m glad the game works 4 months after release.

Maybe your reasoning is pure BS considering all 3 of us, Host included were having the issue. Again it was a FRAME RATE issue. I’ve been playing games long enough to know the different between lag/latency issues and dropped frame rates.

I’m sorry but I’m done trying to explain this to people. There’s a reddit on this subject with thousands of members/posts. Feel free to check it out. The general Xbox user is either incredibly naive, or delusional when it comes to this game and I don’t understand. I love Xbox, but this is not excusable. The best thing to do would have been to fix it, and sweep it under the rug and never talk about it again. Instead they are releasing bundles.

and there’s an actual halo/xbox reddit.
about a few weeks earlier, you had limitless posts every single day from people complaining that they still couldn’t find matches alone or with a party.
go there now and you’ll see that almost no one complains of finding matches with parties. the only complaints are ranks and you can take that however you want, but I see it as at least some semblance of proof that matchmaking, for the most part, is fixed.

Yeah the entire first and second page don’t have any complaints about matchmaking at all. Agreed there was issues in the past but you need to accept that they are basically resolved and move on. Maybe someones router configuration is bad, there are many other possibilities. You sound like someone that clings onto the iPhone Antennagate issues that keeps repeating the same thing over and over when it’s not even a think anymore.

My gamertag is MonroeFAN, look me up you ninkenpoop. How on earth are you able to ignore THOUSANDS of complaints documented everywhere on the internet. Do a google search for it, the first couple of sites should be a published article by Forbes. Is Forbes lying as well? Stfu and find something else to do.

Seriously? NOW you release a Halo The Master Chief Collection bundle? You’re 6 months late. This would have helped you sell even more Xbox Ones last holiday. Sure, it would have p*ssed off a lot of customers too in the state it was in, but WTF.

They probably signed a deal with Ubisoft to bundle AC months in advance. As for bundling MCC during the holidays, the game was a mess when it launched. Why would you want to piss off your customers by giving them a broken game? All you’re doing is killing what little goodwill you have left.

AC Unity was a mess as well and still is in some aspects.
MS should release more diverse bundles instead of focussing on a few and bundle planning would have been done way in advance, before they even knew the game turned into a bugfest. If they don’t bundle Halo 5 or Forza 6 this year because there’s only a ROTTR one, then MS is insane.

I think they’re more likely to bundle games from 3rd parties that aren’t quite guaranteed sellers. Things like Halo 5 and Forza 6 would sell regardless of whether they were bundled or not, same reason why Sony never bundles Uncharted or God of War games. Sunset Overdrive had limited appeal to most consumers, and I think Unity would not have sold as well as past titles given the dark cloud surrounding it leading up to launch. If I was a betting man, I’d predict that Tomb Raider is the most likely bundle candidate (other than another AC game), since Microsoft needs to take advantage of their timed exclusivity.

Oh, I believe it. No way these issues passed any kind of play testing at all. If some of these did they need to do more intensive play testing on their games. This was one game (actually a collection of course) that I thought would be ready. And I had MP and SP issues and finally quit for a while. Have not went back yet.

it takes time to do bundles. phil said on a ign podcast before mcc came out that they cant just make a bundle today and it’s out today it takes about months to do it. and peoples been acting for a bundle so thats is ms giving the fans what they want.

I didn’t say for everyone, but for the large majority, yes.
pretty much everyone one halo reddit and the xbox reddit say it works now.
yeah, there’s still going to be those few, select people that it may still not work for, but for almost everyone else, it’s working just fine now.

To each their own. I feel Halo single player requires more player choice and decisions, specifically around which weapons you want to carry and how that changes the way you approach each battle. CoD single player feels like a scripted set of events that you shoot your way through. I prefer the Halo approach, sounds like you don’t.

Halo’s singleplayer campaign becomes repetitive, familiar and boring really fast and it feels like i have been killing the same grunt with the same unsatisfying weapons that make laser/ rays sounds for over a decade. call of duty on the other hand knows how to make the campaign personal, explosive , stabby and most of all make a gun shoot right. with halo, i am droopy. but with Cod, I ‘M A LEAD FARMER, MOTHER#!$%*$!

they waited to release this bundle because the game was a mess at launch. and I imagine they wanted to push the unity bundles during the holidays. this bundle is just here to push spring sales. sales normally slow down this time of year anyways.

It isn’t. You will see some BS about PS4 in more markets but that makes such a small difference because all the big markets are covered. And head to head in almost all of those the PS4 is doing better, much better in some. The only thing those other markets would do is slow the gap growth. The only thing that concerns me with sales are the games. If devs/pubs opt PS4 more often and I miss out with the One (I have PS4 consoles but prefer the One’s) on some games then that is the only way if sort of effects me. Would be a bigger issue for people with only the One.

“I have a sinking feeling that the xbox ones sales have stalled again.”

That could be the reason for this bundle but maybe not. I think that MS is going to keep bundles with games coming for added value. I also feel we would have seen this soon had the game launched better. I have it and played a little. Both online and SP had issues for me and I finally quit playing. Have not went back yet.

Guys,if you are going to buy that bundle, buy for the campaigns, the multiplayer will be a deception for everyone if you expect something good.

also, they don’t hear feedback,the community says that they should make a playlist with big team battle for each halo, not just throw all maps in one gamemode and say “here is your big team battle”, and well, they don’t hear.

When I saw this my phone screen only showed “Xbox One Halo” and I thought it might have been the announcement that they were taking pre-orders of the Halo 5 console. The first thing I thought was “Oak will finally get to reserve the Xbox One he has been holding out for.”

I was surprised this wasn’t a thing earlier. Hopefully with all the updates, new players will get the experience they are hoping for right out of the box. It would be nice to have less jaded players playing.

Hey, I hate to be “that guy,” but can you really say that you can play all 45 missions in 1080p60? Isn’t Halo 2 Anniversary 900p? I certainly don’t mind when I’m playing, but if you’re going to straight-up advertise it like that…

You guys better fix the online experience in this game fast… or otherwise this bundle will be a complete joke. It took me 10 minutes the other night to connect to a game. Single player campaign is fine, but the entire online deal is just a mess.

Major Nelson, why doesn’t this bundle–or most of the Xbox One bundles, for that matter–have a Kinect SKU? It doesn’t make any sense to me why Microsoft is making it so difficult for Xbox One owners who want to buy a Kinect to be able to do so.

Not sure why you waited so long after launch or why it’s not a Halo console, but I’m still excited. Great deal and since it’s not limited edition, it should still be available once I’ve FINALLY saved up enough money. ^_^

No it hasn’t…this is a new bundle as of March. It says that right in the post. I’ve looked before now and there has never been a Halo bundle. Maybe an individual store bundled them and you were lucky enough to find it, but this is a brand new bundle.
